About
The Indie Memphis Film Festival is a two-time Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences grant recipient and has twice been ranked by MovieMaker Magazine (as one of the "25 Coolest Film Festivals" in 2009 and one of "25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee" in 2011). With a focus on regional filmmaking, the festival brings a broad range of dynamic and engaging independent features, documentaries and short films to Memphis from all corners of the country.
Named a "Top 20 Event" by the Southeast Tourism Society, the 2012 festival attracted a record-setting crowd of more than 11,000 attendees and introduced a new Innovation program of panel discussions and presentations by innovation and technology leaders from Google, FedEx and others, as well as a "48-Hour Hack" sponsored by Microsoft.
